Publisher's summary

The number-one New York Times best seller written by Criminal Minds actor/director, Matthew Gray Gubler.

This charming and inspiring story is the perfect gift for kids (and grown-up kids) alike!

Rumple Buttercup has five crooked teeth, three strands of hair, green skin, and his left foot is slightly bigger than his right.

He is weird.

Join him and Candy Corn Carl (his imaginary friend made of trash) as they learn the joy of individuality as well as the magic of belonging.

Best book

I loved this book and really bummed that I couldn’t get the hardcover. Matthews voices are everything🥺. He puts so much personality in them. I love it💗. And the story was so cute,but had such a important message. “Love yourself “ 10/10 and would definitely read this to my kids, if I had any🤣.

MGG never disappoints

I teared up while reading this book. But I cried while listening to it because Matthew's narration made it 10x more emotional. I love it so much.
